to election. the best evidence, to me, that the tea party movement is it's not here to stay, then at least matured, it's entered the bloodstream is by the voting behavior of congressmen. you see, you know, for example, you know, the ryan budget and, you know, on both times, both in 2011 and 2012 when it was up for a vote, all republicans who previously voted against it now vote for it. the reason for this is that if they failed to vote for it, they will be primaried by someone who gets to their right, and, in fact, one of the people that i write about in the book is a moderate republican named emerson in missouri, and she voted against a couple of things that, you know, voting behavior not deemed sufficiently red winged who wrote things saying, hey, tea party e -- party, here's a primary. that strikes into the heart of legislators. >> in fact, if governor romney loses, the response will be we told you so. >> exactly, enough with the moderates already, sir. >> assuming the gridlock, what do you see

don't go away. >> this is also a big election year in germany. the general election will not take place until the autumn, but political parties are already gearing up for a hectic year of campaigning. >> the social democrat or supporting open their pick, but he has plunged in the opinion polls. >> the campaign is barely under way, but already he is losing ground. no comment on why his support has plummeted in the latest poll by the biggest broadcaster. the 55% of the electorate would back angela merkel compared to 30% for the competitor. merkel's ratings are up and the competitor down 9%. the social democrats were hoping the election would turn them to government, but the numbers do not add up. asked about the level of competence, they give angela merkel top marks. previous the one of the most unpopular populations is now ahead. the leader of the free democratic party says they are just that 17%. it is a strong start to the year for angela merkel. despite concerns the ftp may not make it back, she now has her main rival firmly on their back foot.
